Eufaula Elementary School serves students from pre-kindergarten through fifth grade in the small lakeside town of Eufaula, the county seat of McIntosh County. It is a traditional public school, not a charter or magnet. The town itself blends residential life with a tourism-driven economy centered on Lake Eufaula, the largest lake entirely within Oklahoma. The historic downtown along Main Street contains local restaurants, shops, a farmers market, and event venues, while the McIntosh County Courthouse anchors civic life. The population has fluctuated over the decades, with a modest recovery in recent years, and housing values sit at a level that is affordable relative to national benchmarks.
Enrollment at the school is moderate for an elementary serving this grade band. The student body is racially and ethnically mixed. White students form the largest group, followed closely by students identifying as two or more races and students who are American Indian or Alaska Native. Smaller shares are Hispanic, Black, and Asian. Data on students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, students with disabilities, and English learners were not reported in the available records, so a family looking at those dimensions would need to ask the school directly.
State testing results for the 2024-25 school year come from the Oklahoma School Testing Program (OSTP). Oklahoma changed cut scores in math and English language arts for this administration, which means results cannot be directly compared with prior years. On the most recent tests, the school’s overall proficiency across tested subjects and grades sits below the midpoint when measured against the other districts in McIntosh County. In third-grade math, roughly a quarter of students scored at the proficient level or above. In fifth-grade math, the share was lower. In English language arts, proficiency rates were similar across third, fourth, and fifth grades, each around a modest share. Science, tested only in fifth grade, showed a somewhat higher rate. Fourth-grade math results were suppressed and not reported. These are state-administered assessments; the school does not administer high school tests or produce a graduation rate because it serves only elementary grades.
The district that runs the school, Eufaula Public Schools, has seen its per-student revenue and spending grow over the last several years, now above the Oklahoma state median. At the high school level, the district’s graduation rate has improved and ranks among the top in the state for that metric. That is relevant context for families who intend to remain in the district through middle and high school, though it does not directly describe this elementary campus.
No information was available on course access, staffing ratios, discipline rates, or chronic absenteeism. A parent who wants details on class sizes, specialist offerings, or the school’s approach to student support would need to follow up with the administration.
Overall, Eufaula Elementary is a moderate-sized rural school in a county-seat town with a stable tourism economy and affordable housing. Its academic results on state tests are below the midpoint relative to other districts in the county, and some common data points are missing from public reporting. Families evaluating this school should consider touring and speaking with staff to fill in the gaps.
